As mentioned in a post in my Shorty Layout Topic, sometimes I change the topic of my (attempts of) modelling and switch over to aviation in scale 500. As for the planes themself, they are way too fiddly and small. So I buy them and don't change or modify them. At least not yet. My plan so far is to build two dioramas. One will be a section of the terminal and tower of the now closed Berlin-Tegel Airport (TXL). I've built some paper mock-ups of some parts of the terminal and tower. The other airport is a part of the satellite terminal of the airport Madrid-Barajas (MAD). For this one I have only managed to produce some very crude mockups to figure out how to build the protruding structure and the roof covering which is will be a challenge for itself. I'll post as soon as there is new mock-ups, ideas, ... Progress might be as slow as the development of the N scale stuff, we'll see!

Sooo, this will be a slow one i think. Lets see how it goes! Edit: This tread is for building the Shorty layout. The planning phase is documented HERE. After building the first Sankei kit I decided to get started with some kind of module or inlay that i can build individually and later place on the layout once that will be ready. I started with the the small Toilet house and then worked my way up with the small shrine. Some prints as some kind of simulation for the later landscape are always helpful for motivation.
